Peek inside the dolls' house it took Lauren Child 30 years to make

Author and illustrator Lauren Child, creator of the Charlie and Lola children鈥檚 books, has a love of dolls' houses.

She has spent thirty years creating one of her own, which is finally complete and now on display at the House of Illustration in London.
